We called ahead for reservations, but still had to wait for 20 minutes after we arrived. We were not in a rush, so we didn't mind the wait. I enjoyed looking out at the pier and the water. Soon, we were seated near a window and Keith was anxious to hear if they had any stone crab claws left. He really loves them and always gets stone crab claws each time we come down to Anna Maria Island. They only had the medium and large claws left. So Keith ordered the Surf & Turf dinner. It came with a Caesar Salad to start, which was the standard interpretation. The dinner was steak with stone crab claws served with mixed vegetables, onion rings, and hush puppies. He had the option for warm or cold claws, and chose cold. The crab meat was substantial and mild even for the medium size, and his steak was cooked perfectly. I ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which came with a side option and I chose mixed vegetables. The mac & cheese was very cheesy and served in a hot skillet with tons of lobster meat on top. The lobster was nice and sweet, and overall I enjoyed my meal. It really hit the spot and was very comforting. The mixed vegetables of carrots and green beans were seasoned nicely with lots of butter and herbs.
The atmosphere of Moore's is very dated and almost diner-like inside, but the views of the water is nice and relaxing. The crowd is mostly senior citizens or families with young children, so you might catch a table easier during the later hours.
